Sausage Spinach Braid Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook the first 5 ingredients over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain. Add cream cheese, green onion and parsley; cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted., Unroll crescent dough onto a greased baking sheet. Roll into a 12x10-in. rectangle, pressing perforations to seal. Spoon sausage mixture lengthwise down center third of rectangle. On each long side, cut 3/4-in.-wide strips 3 in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle across filling; seal ends. Brush with egg., Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• 1. Boil spinach in salty water. Drain and set aside. In a saucepan lightly saute garlic and a little ham base in olive oil, (do not brown garlic). Garlic must stay white. Brown the sausage in a different pan to drain the fat away. If you don't mind the fat, then add it to the garlic and ham base (or pork bullion crumbles). Add the drained spinach and let coat well about 10 minutes. Adjust for taste with salt and pepper. Serve with your favorite meat. Double or triple the recipe for additional guests. You can use this recipe for other types of green such as collards, turnips, etc. Enjoy! =)
